The Bangladesh Private Clinic, Hospital and Diagnostic Owners Association (BPHCDOA) stated that canceling the license of Ad-Din Medical College Hospital in Dhaka is not the best solution following the deaths of six children. In a statement signed by office secretary Arif Mahmud on June 15, the association expressed deep sorrow over the incident and urged for a proper investigation. It said that if negligence is proven, legal action should be taken against those responsible and compensation should be provided to the affected families.

The association emphasized that similar incidents occur in healthcare institutions worldwide and are usually addressed through investigation, corrective legal measures, and preventive actions. It suggested that Ad-Din Hospital could be allowed to resume operations under supervision and corrective conditions instead of permanent license cancellation. The group also noted concern that no representative from private hospital owners was included in the investigation commission.

BPHCDOA warned that permanently canceling the license of a long-serving institution could harm middle- and lower-income patients who cannot afford expensive hospitals. It reaffirmed its commitment to work constructively with the government to make Bangladesh’s healthcare sector safer and more accountable.
